Not a million space-miles from the premise of  Solaris.

Solaris is about a sentient ocean on a far distant planet??

Great concept, I wonder why it never saw the light of day? Very Greg Bear/Arthur C. Clarke concept.

[SB111058]

Unfortunately the series was never made.

It would have been a colossal epic on a Babylon 5/ Star Trek scale dwarfing Space 1999 for sure, and would have cost a lot to make. Easily Gerry Anderson's most interesting and cerebal show. So far it only exists as these short clips from the promo film and some concept/design work which will be posted soon..

Those ships, the idea, the planet, the spacestation, this looks exactly like that awsome game back in the old days called Urquan Masters...man that game was dope.

@SB111058 why did you bag that guy for expressing his opinion? are we not allowed to express our opinions on your channel? its not like the dude typed a hate comment directed at you.

[stevesusenet]

Well, here it is about 2 years later. I guess nboody ran with this idea. I hope the Andersons are still around.
